There is a vast difference between “not winning” and “losing” a war. In the case of Ukraine, “not winning” means that President Zelensky and his handlers in Washington choose to pursue a negotiated settlement that would allow Russia to keep the territory it captured during the war while addressing Moscow’s modest security demands. (Note—Ukraine must reject any intention of joining NATO)

In his 1971 opinion in the Pentagon Papers case, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black wrote:

“In the First Amendment the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government’s power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government.”

Benjamin Netanyahu hasn’t won over President Joe Biden, although in January he claimed he could. However, he did win the duel by preventing the White House from opposing his policies. Before our very eyes, he refuses to obey the UN Security Council and the International Court of Justice. He practices ethnic cleansing in both Gaza and in the West Bank. Even if it wanted to, no one could do anything to stop its crimes.

Former President Donald Trump once declared California a “symbol of our nation’s decline” — but he sure likes its cash.

“Tomorrow we will launch a new cooperation and announce the transfer of Mirage 2000-5” fighter jets to Ukraine made by French manufacturer Dassault and train their Ukrainian pilots in France, Macron told French TV.

Macron said he would offer Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when the two [IDIOTS] meet for talks at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Friday that the pilots be trained from this summer.

Is Europe facing a shift to the right? Pollsters predict that radical right-wing parties could win votes in the upcoming European elections, and gain strength within the EU Parliament. However, Europe’s radical right is already influencing EU policy.

Since the failure last year of the Ukrainian army’s “counteroffensive” against Russia, NATO countries have relentlessly escalated their war with Russia in Ukraine, authorizing the Kiev regime to launch missile strikes on Russia and pledging to send their own troops to Ukraine. An interview with top NATO officials published yesterday in Britain’s Daily Telegraph, titled “NATO land corridors could rush US troops to front line in event of European war,” highlights that NATO plans to escalate the war from Ukraine across Europe.

This is about the U.S. Government’s lie to the naive Gorbachev, which fooled him to accept the U.S. empire’s proposal that East Germany become a part of West Germany, and that the Soviet Union and its one-Party rule end, and that its Warsaw Pact military alliance end while America’s NATO military alliance wouldn’t. In other words: it’s about how the Cold War on America’s side continued secretly (and now again brings America and Russia to the very brink of WW3), after the Cold War on Russia’s side ended in 1991 — ended on the basis of America’s lie and Russia’s trust in that lie:

New Zealand is a small country… Yet New Zealanders punch above their weight in many areas of civilisation. “Across the Ditch” is a funny segment on CHEAP SEATS, Channel Ten, Australia, that makes fun of New Zealand low energy news and morning shows that are not trying to be (TMD! thank my dog!) imitations of American ghastly full fake adrenaline gabfest ugly morning shows… This American crass character seems to have unfortunately taken shallow roots at the ABCTV, Australia. PUNS RULE… Laughter (mostly induced by artificial cattle proding of automated camera crews) has become the motif of the morning — while the world suffers... and is about to suffer untold pain due to the last gasps of an Empire in American decline…— while the ABC news seems to suffer from Americanus propagandis....

The Hegemon is calculating for a World War to halt multipolarity. It supports the Jews Gaza genocide as a necessary evil to win hard in West Asia, figuring who’s going to care once the war goes global?

The St Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) takes place this week. It’s one of the go-to annual meetings across Eurasia. The overall theme in 2024 is “multipolarity,” quite fitting considering this is the year of the Russian presidency of BRICS. The BRICS summit next October in Kazan will be crucial in drawing the contours of the road map towards multipolarity going forward. 

Firefighters are on standby to submerge heat-stroke victims in ice and some popular hiking trails have closed in Arizona as tens of millions of people across the south-western US swelter in record-breaking, triple-digit temperatures.

Two weeks before summer even officially starts, excessive heat warnings were in effect across parts of California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas. Forecasters see no relief for several more days. 

Despite continuing optimism from Prime Minister Albanese and Defence Minister Marles and the defence commentariat about the AUKUS submarine deal it continues to attract significant uncertainty and doubt in the wider community. This centres around issues such as sovereignty, our industrial capability to manage the construction and longer term maintenance and the massive donation ( over $A4 billion) to the US’s own worrying ailing defence industry.

United States warmakers have become so skilled at propaganda that not only can they wage a war of aggression without arousing protest; they can also compel liberals to denounce peace activists using language reminiscent of the McCarthy era.

Take the case of Syria. The people and groups one would normally count on to oppose wars have been the ones largely defending it. They have also often been the ones to label war opponents as “Assad apologists” or “genocide deniers”—causing them to be blacklisted.
